Russia offers Iran latest anti-aircraft missile system

The head of Russian state defense conglomerate Rostec says Moscow has
offered Iran its latest Antey-2500 missile defense systems after a deal to
supply less powerful S-300 missiles was scrapped under Western pressure.

Tehran is now considering the offer, Russia’s TASS news agency quoted Sergei
Chemezov as saying on Monday.

“As far as Iran is concerned, we offered Antey-2500 instead of S-300. They
are thinking. No decision has been made yet,” Chemezov said.

There was no immediate response to Chemezov's comments from Iran.

Under a contract signed in 2007, Russia was obliged to provide Iran with at
least five S-300 defense systems.

However, Moscow refused to deliver the system to Iran under the pretext that
it is covered by the fourth round of the United Nations Security Council
sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program.
